entitlement of draft position similar to Schenn's privilege. maybe Kadri was brought in for a look by scouts, or as way to showcase him as part of a trade. there are many reasons and sometimes they are not so evident. maybe the leafs brass are waiting a little longer to see what Deschamps does. he played fair in the Syracuse organization, but flourished in the Marlies organization (30 points in 40 games + 12 points in 17 games in the AHL playoffs).

Oh sure go with that talk, when Eakins just called out Kadri's weakness?? Okay what about Matt Frattin, why was he there not Deshamps? Carter Ashton? Joey Crabb? Don't tell me draft position has a say. Ashton was JUST traded into our team, Crabb ideally is an AHL player or a very much a 4th line player.
